About the Book

One of the world's leading scientists of food and nutrition reveals why so much of the current advice about food and nutrition is dangerously inaccurate, misleading and often downright wrong. **THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER** Everything we've been told about our diets is wrong Is breakfast really the most important meal of the day? Is there any point in counting calories? Is there any evidence that coffee is bad for you? Through his pioneering scientific research, Tim Spector busts these myths and combats food fake news. Spoon-Fed explores the scandalous lack of good science behind many medical and government diet recommendations, and how the food industry holds sway over these policies and our choices. Spoon-Fed is a groundbreaking book that forces us to question every diet plan, official recommendation, miracle cure or food label we encounter, and encourages us to rethink our whole relationship with food. 'A hugely enjoyable and critical look at common food myths' Michael Mosley 'Illuminating and so incredibly timely' Yotam Ottolenghi 'This book should be available on prescription.' Felicity Cloake

Review :
The nutrition revolution is well underway and Tim Spector is one of the visionaries leading the way. His writing is illuminating and so incredibly timely. Will actually help you decide what to add to your next grocery shop... This is one of the clearest and most accessible short nutrition books I have read: refreshingly open-minded, deeply informative and free of faddish diet rules. Dispelling decades of misinformation...Spoon-Fed is a fascinating read. A remarkable book... It's a smoothie-dropping read. Spoon-Fed is the gastro-science literature flavour of the month. There is much to savour in Spector's breezy demolition of the claims of both the greedy food corporations and the joyless "food police". Sacred cows fall thick and fast in this slim but densely packed volume... A clarion call for change... This book should be available on prescription. A hugely enjoyable and critical look at common food myths... A worthy successor to his previous best seller, The Diet Myth. The bestselling author of The Diet Myth, Tim Spector has built a reputation as a culinary demystifier. In his latest, Spoon-Fed...he dishes up a...correction to the nonsense routinely peddled by self-appointed diet gurus.
